Retreats and Workshops

Those who gather at Harmony Ridge Lodge – from business, nonprofit, association, governmental agencies and schools — find the perfect setting to collaborate, create and discover.

A group of up to 25 people literally has the entire property to themselves, with a large flexible conference room and a variety of indoor and outdoor settings that stimulate creativity, reflection and collaborative thinking.

Harmony Ridge staff consider themselves as partners with meeting hosts helping to set the stage to achieve your meeting purpose with grace and ease.

In addition to our regular staff, we have a core group of vetted professional workshop facilitators, trainers and coaches, as well as ancillary services to augment and facilitate your event. These include leadership training with horses, facilitation for team-building and innovation, guided outdoor excursions such as biking and rafting, and more.

Your group can take advantage of our unique location. Outdoor enthusiasts enjoy being in the heart of Tahoe National Forest, moments away from Scott’s Flat Lake, the South Yuba river State Park and many popular forest trails. Those hankering for more “civilized” activities find our charming Nevada City (just 5 miles down the road) offers fun boutique shopping and dining. For a complete list of all the activities we offer to make your meeting agenda truly memorable, from horseback riding to catered farm-to-table dinners, click here.

Our goal is to allow you to have the experience you are after, connecting with your colleagues, expanding innovative thinking, and being inspired to create new opportunities for your business or organization.

For retreats, workshops or meetings, Harmony Ridge Lodge has so many unique meeting spaces. From a conference room that opens out onto lush gardens and orchards, to an abundance of smaller breakout areas both indoors and in the stunning, peace-filled outdoor setting.

Holding our annual team building retreat for faculty and staff at the lodge had a huge impact or previous locations. The sun-filled meeting room, outdoor breakout spaces, farm to table porch dinner and swimming at Scotts Flat Lake really charged and inspired our team.

"We’ve been holding annual quilting retreats at Harmony Ridge Lodge for 5 years. The gorgeous mountain setting and lovely rooms make this place a real treasure. The Yoga Room serves as our sewing room, with space for 12 quilters. Our Spring retreats in April or May offer beautiful early blooms in the gorgeous landscaping, but sometimes we’ve had snow with tulips poking through, which is a special treat!"
